2. Larry King's counselor gave him a "prom dress" and told him to wear anything he wants and to "be himself" at school.

3. Neither boy had a school safety net, if problems arose.

4. Both boys came from broken/abusive homes.

5. All administrators/teachers who were directly involved have since been transferred/replaced.

6. Although there were numerous concerns made by teachers, the administration ignored them. It also was brought out in court that most teachers making their concerns known were not tenured.

7. Larry sexually harassed Brandon on campus, including the gym locker room in front of other peers.

8. Brandon shot Larry.

Yes, Brandon needs to be held accountable for shooting/killing Larry. It was wrong, but there was no one to reach out to, especially in school or at home.

There are specific teachers and administrators in this school who should be held personally accountable for creating a lab experiment and throwing two boys into that test tube without ensuring there was a safe environment, rather than focusing on their own politically correct motives.

The DA in this case also has created a mockery of the justice system by trying Brandon as an adult rather than having juvenile hall and psychiatric oversight handle this tragedy. It seems the D.A. considers Brandon a neo-Nazis/white supremacist at 14 years old.

I hope the jury comes back with a verdict of manslaughter I instead of first degree murder.

Maybe justice would somehow be served if the E.O Green School administration came out and said mistakes were made, but I won't hold my breath.
